This chapter from “Office Gynecology” presents a case-based approach to pelvic pain, focusing on a specific 26-year-old woman with chronic pelvic pain and a negative work-up. The high-level method is descriptive rather than experimental, using the clinical narrative to illustrate diagnostic evaluation outcomes and subsequent clinical thinking within a pelvic pain framework. The key finding is that chronic pelvic pain can persist even when the standard work-up does not identify an underlying cause, emphasizing the challenge of unexplained pain syndromes in gynecology; the main limitation is that it is a single-case discussion with no systematic data collection or outcomes. The chapter is not specifically about endometriosis, but it is included in the corpus of endometriosis and adenomyosis research because it appears within a pelvic pain section that also contains a case explicitly about endometriosis (Case 6) and discusses chronic pelvic pain work-up in a condition-inclusive context.
